Best Five Axis Laser? Input Please
(OP)
I am trying to find the "right" five axis laser for doing prototype work (automotive-steel) in our shop.
I have looked at Mitsubishi, Trumpf, and Mazak.
So...the big question: What five axis is the best for the money in your opinion and why?
Thanks for the input!!

Now it depends on how your going to run it (Online programming or Off-line programming)
Mazak is the best I've ran for online programming.
N.T.C. for offline. if you have any questions about maintenance costs or replacment part costs or what to look for in the operator feel free to e-mail me

If you want to look at some fairly wild stuff, check out Prima's Optimo series- that will get you plenty of work envelope!
I only worked on 5-axis machines in '87-'93 timeframe, then a bit in '01 or so.

old series machine with CRG, or newer control?
We did a lot of work to create a friendly interface for the user (file handling, etc), but couldn't do anything about the handbox. (teach pendant to the rest of the planet)
I think a number of the Amada version machines have been upgraded/refitted to newer lasers (and controls?)
